"Report to the Commander."

The operational staff officer respectfully bowed his head and reported:

"A quarter of an hour ago, the planes of the Eighth Route Army attacked the port of Tianjin!"

"Nani?"

Okamura Ninji's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly.

Tianjin Port has nearly 20,000 tons of war materials allocated to the North China Front Army from the base camp.

If it is blown up, the consequences are unimaginable.

Most of these war materials are bullets, artillery shells, grenades, explosives, fuel oil, etc., which are inflammable and explosive.

Being hit by an aerial bomb is a serial explosion, not to mention the powerful incendiary bombs of the Eighth Route Army.

It wasn't just a series of explosions, the entire port had to be blown up.

Because he stood up too violently and the blood supply to his brain was insufficient, Okamura almost fainted again.

Both the base camp and Okamura Ninji originally thought that after occupying North China, they would be able to turn North China into a colony of the Japanese Empire, just like Treasure Island and the Korean Peninsula.

Not only can they obtain abundant materials and abundant human resources, but they can also turn North China into a military base for war.

However, the fact is that the North China Front did not provide Japan with much war resources, and the troop resources were even smaller.

In order to maintain and consolidate the dominant position of the North China Front in North China and deal with the increasingly powerful Eighth Route Army, the Japanese base camp had to give a large amount of blood transfusion to the North China Front.

These 20,000 tons of war materials are only the first batch of war materials that came from blood transfusion.

However, when Tanabe Moritake heard the news, his expression returned to his calm appearance.

"How many war materiel is left that hasn't been blown up?"

Okamura Ninji's face was extremely gloomy:

"Did you shoot down enemy planes?"

If these 20,000 tons of war materials were blown up, Okamura Ninji really couldn't explain it to the base camp.

Even for the follow-up 40,000 tons of war materials, the base camp will consider stopping the transportation to the North China Front.

Without the supply of war materials, what will the North China Front Army do to fight the Eighth Route Army?

Tianjin Port is deployed with anti-aircraft artillery and machine guns, as well as warship protection, and strong firepower for prevention and control, so it should be able to shoot down some enemy planes, right?

The combat staff officer looked stunned: "Report to the commander, no combat materials were blown up, and no enemy planes were shot down, and the enemy planes flew away after a circle over Tianjin Port!" ”

"Nani?" Okamura Ninji's tone was puzzled, and his voice suddenly rose, "What's going on?" ”

"Your Excellency, General!"

At this moment, Moritake Tanabe replied confidently:

"While you were in a coma, you guessed that the planes of the Eighth Route Army were likely to bomb the combat materials of the Locust Army in Tianjin Port, so you ordered the trains, transport ships and escort warships loaded with war materials to disperse and transfer in advance."

"War materiel is safe at the moment!"

"Yo Xi!"

Okamura Ninji was greatly relieved when he heard this.

Fortunately, this batch of combat materials was not blown up, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable, and it would undoubtedly make the North China Front, which was not wealthy, even worse.

"Tanabe-kun, you have done a good job in this matter and have made a great contribution."

Okamura Ninji looked at Moritake Tanabe with a satisfied expression on his face.

After this incident, Okamura Ninji's suspicions about Moritake Tanabe also dissipated most of them, but not completely.

If Tanabe Moritake was a senior spy of the Eighth Route Army, he would never have ordered the transfer of 20,000 tons of war materials.

However, the matter of 20,000 tons of war materials is also top secret in the North China Front Headquarters, and it is all handled by Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo.

How did the Eighth Route Army get the information?

"Your Excellency the General!"

Tanabe Moritake lowered his head, and then glanced at Seizo Arisue meaningfully.

Okamura Ninji also looked at Seizo Arisue.

Yousue Seizan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency General, it was His Excellency the Chief of Staff who asked me to call Tianjin Port to give the order. ”

"It's a pity that we have too little time, and there is only enough time to transfer war materials."

"If you get some fake war materials and deploy a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower in Tianjin Port, you will definitely be able to severely damage the aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army..."

Hearing this, Okamura Ninji's head began to hurt again.

It's not Moritake Tanabe, and it's not Seizo Arisue.

Who is the senior spy of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the headquarters of the North China Front?

……

More than half an hour later.

A new group of 40 planes landed safely at Daguzhen Airport.

"What a fucking shame..."

Inside the tower, Li Yunlong listened to Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin's report, and his face was full of pity.

Although Li Shaorong had already notified the tower by radio, Li Yunlong still felt that he was losing blood.

This is 20,000 tons of war materials for the Japanese army, and if you blow up these 20,000 tons of war materials, the Eighth Route Army can get 40,000 tons of war materials.

Li Yunlong calculated that this coming and going is equivalent to 60,000 tons of war materials for the Eighth Route Army.

Zhao Gang analyzed: "Boss Chen's intelligence has never gone wrong, it should be that the Japanese army transferred the war materials in Tianjin Port in advance. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, there was only one explanation.

"We still have too few planes and pilots."

Li Yunlong summed up the experience and lessons of the failure of the combat mission:

"If we have more planes and pilots, it will be impossible for the devils to escape the 20,000 tons of war materials."

Li Yunlong received the information in the afternoon, and the intelligence information sent by Boss Chen to Yan Shuangying.

Then.

The flight group of the new regiment is performing the first stage of combat duty.

If there are enough pilots and planes, they can be sent to carry out the mission of bombing Tianjin Port at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

Xing Zhiguo suggested: "The second batch of flight students have also studied with Boss Chen for more than half a year, so they should be able to participate in actual combat, right?" ”

The second batch of flight cadets was the business of Lieutenant General Jing Seki, who killed the commander of the 36th Division, who was also a 50 flight cadets.

Now the air force of the Japanese North China Front has been completely wiped out, and the Eighth Route Army has once again gained air supremacy.

In a short period of time, the pilot only needs to fly the plane and carry out dive bombing and strafing on the devils, and the devils' anti-aircraft fire pulls the hips, and the danger factor is lower than that of air combat.

If these 50 pilots can graduate ahead of schedule, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit will be greatly enhanced.

Li Yunlong was greatly moved, and nodded: "The next time I meet Boss Chen, I'll ask him." ”

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin, and his tone and expression were very satisfied:

"Good wine and good food have been prepared, I said, when you triumph, I, Li Yunlong, will personally celebrate your achievements!"

"But the captain." Li Shaorong said, "Our flight group has not completed the task of blowing up 20,000 tons of enemy combat materials......

"I don't blame you for not completing the mission." Li Yunlong said, "The devil transferred the war materials in advance. ”

Subsequently, Li Yunlong took Li Shaorong and Wang Hexin to the runway of the airport.

Under the light of the airport searchlights, the tables have already been set up, and all kinds of good wine and food have been served.

Together with the ground staff and maintenance personnel, dozens of tables were set up.

said that it was to celebrate the success of the flying team, but in fact, it was Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang who followed them.

The food of the flying brigade was the best in the whole regiment, and even much better than that of the sword squadron.

In addition to the best canned meat, chicken, duck and fish, white rice, steaming meat buns made with fresh pork, there are also steaks, fresh fruits, turkeys, seafood, milk, coffee, beer, coke and cigars that Boss Chen specially served for the pilot.

Thereupon.

There was such a scene on the runway: Grand Master Li in a leather jacket, with a cigar in his left hand, eating steak in his mouth, beer, coke, turkey and fresh fruit in front of him, mingling with the pilots with a smile on his face.

Beer is available in limited quantities, and it's hard to get drunk as long as you don't drink too much.

The radar on the nearby hill is turned on 24 hours a day, and the security level of the airport is comparable to that of a new regimental headquarters, so there is no need to worry about enemy planes and small groups of enemy troops.

……

Early the next morning.

Although he drank a lot last night, Li Yunlong still got up early in the morning and trained with the members of the Sword Squadron.

Li Yunlong is not a person who likes pleasure, but when he recalls the food of the flight team last night, he still misses it a little.

Fortunately, in the future, the flying brigade will have more chances to win battles, and he should be able to eat it often.

Just after breakfast, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou ran over with a telegram in his hand and reported to Li Yunlong:

"Leader, Boss Chen just sent a telegram."

"Boss Chen has already determined that Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi and Major General Tadao Hongzhong were killed."

"The business price is 28 B4 heavy howitzers and 28 Katyusha rocket launchers, as well as a complete set of exploration, oil production and refining equipment, as well as related technical guidance, 3 bullet production lines and 3 56 gun production lines."

"500 cars, 150,000 tons of fuel."

"This price is very fragrant!"

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone was full of surprise:

"Brother Chen also understands our Lao Li too well, I really want something, I was trying to develop our Eighth Route Army's own oil field, and Brother Chen gave me equipment."

Although the quota for pilots, tank cadets, paratroopers, and radar cadets is gone, there is more oil refining equipment, and the price of this business is no worse than that of cadets.

At present, fuel is an extremely important military supply no matter which country it is in!

And the Eighth Route Army has its own fuel industry and technology, which is obviously far-reaching.

Although Sadachi Yoshimoto has not yet fully assumed the post of commander of the First Army, the price is the same as that of the commander, both 24 heavy howitzers and 24 Katyusha rocket launchers.

The price of the major general is more stretched, there are only 4 heavy howitzers and 4 Katyusha rocket launchers.

"Yes, Commander!"

Wang Dehou was also smiling:

"In addition, the enemy planes and pilots that were killed, Boss Chen also got accurate information."

Li Yunlong asked in a hurried tone: "How many devil planes and devil pilots have we killed in total?" ”

Although the work of killing the devil plane and the devil pilot was done by the new regiment of the flight team, the flight team could only make an approximate count, and could not count it accurately.

How much to kill depends on the information on Boss Chen's side.

The smile on Wang Dehou's face became more and more intense: "In yesterday's combat mission, the flight team destroyed a total of 68 devil planes and killed 37 devil pilots, and we can get 142 planes!" ”

"142!?"

Li Yunlong's eyes were about to fall off when he heard this:

"So much?"
